Fall looks better from the water: 5 reasons to extend boating season

(BPT) - Summer may get most of the attention when it comes to boating, but the fun doesn't have to end when seasons change. With quieter waterways, cooler temperatures and vibrant scenery, fall offers an often overlooked way to enjoy time on the water.

"There's something magical about experiencing fall from the water that you can't get during the height of summer," said Maggie Maskery, director of communications for Discover Boating. "It's a chance to slow down, take in the sights from a different point of view and turn an ordinary day into a seasonal escape with your favorite people."
